Beautiful day on a beautiful course

This amazing course is slowly coming back to what it was meant to be. Fairways and traps were great. Some tee boxes are under renovation and a couple greens need to be done. Greens were fast and are mostly bouncing back from disease last year. Hopefully the progress keeps moving in the right direction.

Nice layout.

Fairways and bunkers are in good shape but the greens are in terrible condition. To be fair, this summer has been brutally hot with very little rain so it’s not too surprising. Awful weed problem on the greens as well. Still a nice course for the price and I do recommend it as the layout and surroundings are beautiful and show off what south Louisiana is all about.

Nice Day

Nice layout but course was kind of dry from drought and lack of rain.

I’ll be back again for rain check they gave me, I only played the front nine.

Greens = No bueno

The greens were in horrendous conditions, which is a shame because the course itself has the potential to be gorgeous. There was maybe two greens that were in decent conditions…

Great mixture of golf and nature

Wonderful course with great pace of play. Challenging holes and layout. The greens had some rough patches on the edge but usually did not affect play.

Great course!

The front few greens and tee boxes are under repair but that’s the price you pay for improvement. For the money, this is my favorite course.

Poor Greens

The greens were in poor shape. The ball did not roll smoothly due to improper maintenance. This course has a great, yet challenging layout with nice fairways. However, the greens need a lot of work.

Great layout

Very nice course, but some t boxes were being redone and most of the greens are in pretty bad shape and all are very slow. Also some bunkers have weeds growing.

Still enjoyed playing it but could be in a lot better condition

New proper maintenance

The greens were very patchy with sand and growth. They had 2 holes where the flag was placed in the fairway due to the greens being in bad shape. The water coolers were low on water and they didn't have a cart person riding around to help with liquids in the 100+ heat. This course was once very nice but now is a complete joke for the money they want. I go to Berwicks course which is very maintained and always friendly.

Great layout, poor condition.

It has been hot and dry, but the greens were extremely slow and bumpy. Two greens were under major repair and the holes were placed in front of them on the fairway. The fairways were hard (expected with the dry conditions and extreme heat), but they had good grass on them. Love the layout of this course, so it would be great if the condition was at least average or better.

Not ok

Staff was awesome. Restaurant was awesome. Pro shop was nice.

Course…not so much!!

Most tee boxes honestly looked like they had weed killer poured on them.

Greens were horrendous. Terrible!! Not one was even 80% “good”!!

Layout of course was very nice, almost like a wildlife tour!

I was perfectly fine paying $60 green fee until I got to first hole!! Definitely not worth that and won’t be until they put some money into those greens.
